Training Tip of the Month

“When you gain a better understanding of what areas of the body an athlete stresses the most while playing their sport you'll be able to improve their in-season strength training program."

A crucial component of staying healthy and improving as an athlete is balancing work and recovery. _ As a baseball player, an in-season strength training program can easily shift the pendulum in either direction. A poorly planned program can increase the stress placed on the shoulder, elbow, and/or hip and hinder one’s on-field performance. A smart, well-thought-out program will allow you to maintain strength, allow tissues to receive adequate rest, and prevent injury by keeping mobility in check. _ The @chathamcoalcats are still keeping the energy high for their in-season lifts and you can see the principles above in action from @curtis_buchan _ Video 1️⃣: Still getting a strength training effect with SSB Squats _ Video 2️⃣ & 3️⃣: Still training the upper body without unnecessary stress on the shoulder and elbow by performing TRX rows and bear crawls instead of dumbbell rowing and bench pressing variations. _ #CDSFamily #capital #district #sport #fitness #sportsperformance #baseball #inseason
